Topic: Weston A Price

Dr. Tom Cowan, a medical doctor and author, is introduced as a leading figure in holistic health and the "New Biology." His background includes serving as a founding board member of the Weston A. Price Foundation and authoring books such as "Human Heart Cosmic Heart" and "The Truth About Contagion." He currently operates the New Biology Clinic and an online store featuring organic products.

Data from the Weston A. Price Foundation indicates that there have been zero reported cases of foodborne illness from uninspected custom-processed beef in the U.S. since 1968. This evidence supports the safety of small-scale, relational marketing between neighbors. The Prime Act aims to empower states to allow these transactions, potentially leading to the opening of thousands of neighborhood abattoirs.

Listeners are encouraged to build local resilience by joining Weston A. Price chapters for food sourcing or engaging with the Freedom Cells Network. The THC meetup platform is highlighted as a "bat signal" for finding like-minded individuals without the need for constant social media engagement. Carlwood acknowledges "No Agenda" as the inspiration for his meetup calendar and emphasizes the value of local commerce and resource sharing.

The concept of "fiat food" is explored, suggesting the U.S. government promoted cheap, non-nutritious factory foods to hide the effects of inflation after leaving the gold standard. Dolan references Weston A. Price’s research on physical degeneration, arguing that modern dietary guidelines are a form of eugenics designed to target fertility and population growth. They recommend the Weston A. Price Foundation as a resource for finding local, high-quality animal products.

Dolan provides a list of resources for listeners looking to improve their health, including websites like EatWild.com and LocalHarvest.org for finding local farmers. He recommends the work of Paul Saladino, Sally Fallin, and Anthony Chaffee for dietary guidance. Dolan also mentions his availability for health coaching via X (formerly Twitter) and shares success stories of individuals who have seen improvements in depression and childhood behavioral issues through detoxification.

The validity of modern nutrition studies is questioned because they are typically conducted under artificial blue light or on nocturnal mammals, creating significant confounding variables. Dr. Cruz introduces optico-genetics as a field proving that light can directly alter biochemistry and gene expression. He argues that biologists often ignore these physical principles because they lack expertise in the physics of organisms.

The Mayo Clinic originally utilized high-quality raw milk for its curative effects, contrasting it with the poor-quality milk found in cities. Research from the Weston A. Price Foundation suggests that the decline of diseases like cholera and dysentery was primarily due to the work of plumbers and indoor plumbing rather than medical interventions. Modern dairy regulations are criticized for being stuck in a mindset formed between 1870 and 1925.

Doug Lindemood discusses the loss of "passed down" agricultural knowledge over the last 50 years and the rise of a new generation of ranchers. He notes that while new farmers lack the baggage of traditional methods, they are more willing to innovate and iterate on regenerative practices without needing approval from previous generations.

Greg Carlwood updates listeners on a recent Q&A session with Sally Fallon Morrell and Gordon White available for Plus members. He encourages listeners to maintain their mood during the 2020 pandemic and provides a final recommendation for Jared Murphy's book through Paranoia Publishing.

Sally Fallon Morrell, author of Nourishing Traditions and founding president of the Weston A. Price Foundation, joins the program to discuss traditional foodways. The foundation focuses on education and research to provide scientific validation for ancestral diets while challenging mainstream nutritional guidelines. Morrell has authored several books, including works on animal fats and child care co-authored with Dr. Thomas Cowan.

Dr. Weston A. Price, a dentist in the 1930s and 40s, traveled to isolated parts of the world to study the dental and overall health of indigenous groups. He discovered that those with perfect dental health consumed high levels of fat-soluble vitamins A, D, and K found in animal fats and organ meats. Price observed a sharp decline in health and physical structure when these populations transitioned to industrialized diets consisting of refined grains, sugar, and pasteurized milk.

The Weston A. Price Foundation advocates for the consumption of raw, unpasteurized milk from pastured cows, referring to it as "real milk." Morrell argues that pasteurization destroys vital nutrients and enzymes, contributing to allergies and widespread infertility. The foundation's "Real Milk" campaign has successfully expanded the legal availability of raw dairy across 43 U.S. states, reaching an estimated 10 million consumers.

Morrell argues that a vegetarian or vegan diet lacks the nutrient density required for healthy child development and may lead to long-term health issues for offspring. She asserts that every child has the genetic potential to be a "genius" with perfect physical structure, but this potential is often suppressed by poor maternal nutrition. The Weston A. Price Foundation provides guidelines for pregnancy and breastfeeding to ensure the "optimum expression" of a child's genetic blueprint.
